Who is in the minority, majority etc it's hard to say. I imagine many are indifferent. There's certainly a vocal group on this board who like the way things have gone, but doubt this is an unbiased sample of players!
i feel they've probably taken on board cricism voiced on this board, which I didn't agree with, and gone out to intentionally make a game specifically designed for not me, which sucks, but there's no pleasing all of the people all of the time. These days, how good a games is is a lot down to gameplay and artistic decisions. The longer a series is, the less likely the most recent is your favourite, but I'd still prefer things went my way. I'd also like that game makers had some backbone and just made what appealed to them, without cowtowing to perceived pressure, but realise that those working for in big corporations don't have this luxury.
To me, new super-dowdy Sonya seems like an impostor, a protest, like they're saying "you want dowdy? here you go!", yet people (at least some here) are lapping it up! FWIW, showing skin isn't a big deal for me. I can take it or leave it. I freaking love high heels though! Loved Sonya's MK9 look, and the dress uniform outfit from the 3D MKs. Looking at MKX, I can't help but see marketing dept. decisions that likely led it to be that way, which really grinds my gears.
I like how the MK games of past were a FU to naysayers. They were over the top, unapologetically riduclous and glamourous action, played half straight. Like the Fast and Furious movies! Maybe next people can lobby Vin Diesel to make the cars in the next movie different shades of grey with performance more representative of average cars an older person might drive.

Sonya in MK9 looked like she was designed by 14-year old.
It's not about being over the top. It's about having taste. And you clearly have none.

At this point, MK has dropped below my "would rather be doing something constructive" level, but it's not the end of the world. Maybe I'll get round to making a fighting game I want. Something like mugen with support for .xps models or something would really kick ass. This may or not come to anything.
